My best friend made pork dumplings last week, posted it up onto Facebook and made me ‘itchy’ to try my hands at making them. So I did! They don’t look the prettiest and I have to say that the wrapping is really THE most difficult part of this whole dish and if you’re lazy, just...

Fire In The Belly (and more) At Yoogane
Photo credit: Yoogane Singapore I’ve seen the long queues at Yoogane’s Bugis Junction branch and I’ve always wondered what the fuss is all about.

Eggs Benedict with Sauteed Mushrooms and Kale

Wannabe Kale Frittata with Beef and Cherry Tomatoes
This is a wannabe frittata because I didn’t add cheese nor did I bake this dish and it could be called an omelette except that there’s more kale than egg. I found this dish incredibly tasty and stir frying the kale will eliminate any bitterness that is inherent in the veg. This recipe serves 1....

Stir Fried Shirataki with Kale, Beef and Cherry Tomatoes in a Peanut Sauce
I reckon you guys will be seeing a few more recipes with Kale from me because I recently purchased a whole bunch of it and after reading all the benefits of it, I think I might eat more Kale. Apparently, 1 serving of Kale contains only 30 calories and has enough vitamin C to last...
